Hugh McBean's walking guide to Nairn

Thanks to Doc Grigor for this link. Hughie needs no intro for Gurnites but if you're just visiting the Gurn or thinking of coming to Nairn on holiday perhaps you'd like to know a little more about our favourite postie, this P&J article will give you an idea of what a great guy he is. Hugh has made a first class video that sings just a few of Nairn's praises.

Update: Monday morning - back to the top with this post. There's been a lot on the Gurn over the weekend and throughout March. Only about the first twenty articles feature on the main page, to see links to all 81 articles posted so far this month just scroll down the sidebar a little to the blog archive.

A First Class delivery from postmanHugh, good to see 2 fine actors now stay in the town,Eat your heart out George Clooney,with this performance Hugh, could another Oscar be heading to Nairn.Ps just a wee footnote there is only two things that can be seen from outer space The Great Wall ofChina & Hughs jacket!!!!.

Anon said: 'Well done Hugh, just one thing the fishers spoke English and uptown the Gaelic.'Yes a good point Anon, but an interesting question is what did the Fishers speak before they started speaking English? Remember the recent DNA tests that showed Celtic origins.

No doubt there were areas of the town where bilingualism was common for trade purposes.

Hi,i am really embarrassed about the whole thing,i got a call asking me to do some filming and i thought yeah i could do that, not knowing what i was getting myself into.I never really got a heads up to exactly what they wanted,so when they started filming it was "now talk about Nairn"with me not having my wife Mandy there to poke me and tell me what to say my mind went blank.So i don't really think i did our great town justice soz about that.

Please dont worry about your vocal descriptions on tape its a rap, very much impressed with your gentle manner which came across very well. My agent will be in touch with the filming diary for my next production, hope you can fitit in as i know you are very busy with other scripts at the moment.Hear from you later.Steven Speilberg.

Exclusive only to The Gurnite FansI have inside knowledge from thosein the film industry that Hugh McBean is in the frame as the newJames Bond, the production companywho make the 007 movies where veryimpressed with the husky Nairniteaccent & good physique, so watch this space, you will be the first to know.
